The upper-bound threshold's been set by the Note 10.1 (32GB $549), N10 (32GB $499), and TF700 (32GB $499). So with 32GB of storage the Xperia Z won't be more than $499 (the Note gets away with more because of S Pen). If Sony's smart they'll price it at $449 to gain some traction in the market. Asus only sold 250K 10.1" tablets a month in Q3 and the TF300 had a MSRP of $349. High-end Android tablets just don't sell well. The Note 10.1 was selling a million a month in Q3 so that makes it an exception. We'll see if that run rate continued in to Q4 when analysts disect Samsung's earnings. Also keep in mind that the specs shown are for the Japanese market Xperia Z. The global and U.S versions could be different. And until something's confirmed at MWC next month we don't even know for sure if there will be global and U.S. versions.

I might be just a tech junkie but I would choose the N10 over the Tablet Z any time of the day without any second thoughts. I like my devices to be future proof (a lesson I've learned at a dear price with my Tegra 3 One X) and the N10 is the most future proof android device out on the market.

-2560x1600. Overkill, I agree, but it is future proof (like a few posts before, if the ternd suddenly changes to 1440p I'm still going to enjoy it at a Max while a 1080p tablet will not).

-Exynos 5. This SOC if overclocked scores a geekbench score as my core2duo laptop CPU (around 3000), nuff said. Bleeding edge Gpu, future proof with OpenGL 3 and DirectX 11... 2GB of DDR3 RAM at 800MhZ pushing 12,8 Ghz bandwith.

-Nexus. I can't even begin talking about the benefits this brings. This makes up for a lot of the stuff other tablets might have over the N10.

So here you have it. In my opinion the only tablets which are worth buying today are: Note 10.1(only because of s-pen, otherwise old tech), N7(not future proof enough for my taste but it I love it because it let's people with tight budgets have a crack at the tablet experience for a ridiculously low price, and I love that), N10( a Goliath among Davids, a wonder device created in Hefaistos' furnace for the gods, to smite iSheep), and the archenemy iPad 4( ridiculous price, boring OS, I feel imprisoned by the never ending rows of apps. But one thing this ... thing can do is frames per second, because underneath all of that garbage lies the Graphics King)

Sony has announced its brand new Xperia Tablet Z today in Japan. Featuring a 6.9 millimetres thick body, it is the slimmest tablet. Set to go on sale in the land of rising sun as soon as March, there is still no word on the tablet’s release in other countries.

If the tablet is indeed launched in US, UK and other markets, it will be directly competing with Google Nexus 10 and Apple’s 4th-gen iPad.

We took this opportunity to compare three tablets on the basis of their specs to find out, which one of these packs the most power.
[Nexus 10 General] tyhe314:
This is assuming that the Xperia will ever leave Japan right? According to the current reports, Sony has no intentions of taking the tablet overseas. I would still go with Nexus 10 even if the tablet does make it to USA and Europe. I have never had good experience with Sony mobile devices. On paper everything new sounds better so it is hard to tell till the model comes out into consumer hands. I don't know why people are stressing specs so much, honestly with a Nexus 10 running cyanogen mod or another ROM with a good kernel, the tablet runs super fast. I doubt any significant improvement in specs will be all that noticeable in actual performance. Honestly Google has the chance to knock all the competitors out of the race if they actually knew how to market physical products and support them with a diverse ecosystem... Nexus line is by far the most "futureproof" mobile devices out there.
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
It seems like you guys are making the comparison in a vacuum. The N10's got some issues; like a 97 page thread on "light bleed" along with other discussions on dead pixels and color temperature variations. Add to that battery life and time-to-charge discussions. When you see threads on any device’s forum like “who actually likes their Nexus 10?” that stay on the front page for more than a week you know you’re not in Disneyland. 49% of people in a poll here said they had one of the three issues listed. Hell, 52% voted for the Note 10.1 with its old school 147 PPI display over the N10 in a poll on this forum. It's too early to know if the Xperia Z will come with its own baggage but to compare the N10 without taking in to account some of its challenges doesn't seem like a fair comparison. And at $399 it's a great value. $499 for the 32GB is a fair value. There's only a $50 differential between the 16GB and 32GB Note 10.1's.

And "future proof" is only valuable if you intend to keep a device over a year. My record's been nine months. Some people are still using a multi-boot HD2 as their daily driver but, here on XDA, the device turnover is pretty high. Looking at the device history in their signature of some of the folks posting here I'd wager they'll be the first to have whatever tablet comes out with Exynos Octa so their N10 "future" could be until summer.
[Nexus 10 General] plastikowl:
Why isn't anyone mentioning the ridiculous costs of data plans? To take advantage of the 4G connection you are going to have to sign up for a stupidly expensive plan, possibly extra if you want to use the hotspot functionality. Unless there is special pricing available for such things I am unaware of?
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
97 pages sounds pretty significant when you just blurt it out.

33 of those pages consist of posts from the same 10 people posting

Now it's a 64 page thread

48 of those pages consist of posts from the same 20 people posting

Now it's a 49 page thread

63 of those pages consist of posts from the same 40 people

Now it's a 34 page thread.

Factor in the "Mines fine" posts and the people posting about light bleed only cause they saw a thread about it and stared at a screen in a dark room to see something they would have otherwise never seen or cared about. I have 3 posts like that myself in that thread.

It's a small issue.. Just like every chicken little thread for every new device XDA makes it seem like a national catastrophe when it's really just normal defect rates that near any product has.
[Nexus 10 General] ady_seray:
I don't understand your problem mate.. Are you actually surprised that people love their N10's or what? I haven't had one single issue with my device, just a tiny bit of light bleed, gamma's for my colors are almost spot on (2.2 for most of them). And besides most of those threads are in the General and Q&A where most

Xda newbies go to raise up their post count so they can spam developers with silly questions after they get 10 posts.

And because I'm a student future proof is the most important thing for me. I need to keep my money for more important things like books and food, not getting every new device that comes out(especially if it's weaker hardware wise than my current one).

Exactly! Thank you, couldn't have said it better myself!
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
:)

Of all the products I've owned only one had a legitimate deal breaking nationwide defect that affected every phone on the market.. The Samsung Moment and its CDMA lockups.. You could literally just be sitting there doing nothing at all on a stock setup and your CDMA radio would lock up.. No data, no incoming or outgoing calls. You had to reboot the phone to restore CDMA service. Custom roms and patches from Samsung tried fixing it.. Nope.. They didn't. This hardware defect carried over into the Samsung Intercept. Ask any one who owned that phone about CDMA lockups and not one will say they never had them. EVERYONE had them because it wasn't fixable. That's how I ended up on the Epic 4G.. Soon as my first year was up I jumped off that phone fast as hell.. I miss Sprints old customer program.. 1 year renewals were nice!
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
@Barry - it's clear that some Nexus 10's have issues, but I really wonder what a comprehensive sampling would reveal. My N10 is gorgeous. I use it quite heavily and have not seen light bleed yet, and this includes nighttime use in a dark room with the brightness high enough to be just shy of too bright. I read, browse the web, watch videos, use Office apps, review and edit PowerPoint decks and spreadsheets, play games, etc. No light bleed that I can detect. My guess is that if I were to turn brightness to 100% with a black screen in a black room I would probably see evidence of "light bleed", but I believe the use case borders on ludicrous. I know some folks have reported light bleed under normal use conditions, but my sense is that they are in the minority.

We also know that XDA is a unique community. My guess is that whatever percent of N10 users are having issues, a disproportionate fraction of them are in the two or three threads here reporting problems, and, without actually counting, I'd guess that many of the posts in the long thread are from people posting multiple times. People who have product issues typically seek out forums like this, while there's probably a huge population that have no issues, or aren't technically inclined, and simply enjoy their products and don't search out forums like this so they can say how happy they are.

For whatever reason, I'm seeing incredibly few lockups now. Perhaps because I'm using Chrome beta, which has received several updates in recent weeks. Also noted that when the browser freezes, more often than not, I now have the option to kill it without rebooting.

I'm not an apologist for Samsung and Google, and the rollout clearly has real issues. I just suspect that discussion here tends to inflate the perception of the problems , possibly way beyond its actual severity and frequency. I personally love the N10 and find it increasingly useful every day.

... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
Devices get the forums they deserve. From the tone and volume of the multi-page threads the N10 isn't the happiest device on XDA. There are more issues being discussed and reported then should be for a Samsung-produced device. That doesn't mean it's a bad device or that it's specs aren't impressive. I use to recommend it without reservation (over the Note 10.1 and TF700) for people looking for consumption. I still recommend it, but share some of the issues people might encounter based on what's been reported here by users less enthralled then you two are. There is no right or wrong; it is what it is. The forum for the Teg3 One X I owned mirrored this one. My particular device was issue free. But the number of people experiencing (legitimate) issues took up most of the front page. So you both are right in the statements I quoted. And it's too early to say if the XZ will have issues of its own so I'd be the first to say it's not fair to compare a launched device against the specs of one that people haven't used in the real world.
[Nexus 10 General] derrick603:
You do realize that 90% of the posts in that thread that attempt to answer the question can be summarized with "I love my Nexus 10", right?
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
Yeah, Nexus devices seem to be cheaper in some areas, my Nexus 4 included. However, the pros far outweigh the cons and the Nexus 10 is an excellent device.

The Xperia Z might be too but I am not going to wait for it now that the Nexus 10 is finally back in stock in Canada.
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
You're right, I posted several times there, but it was because I had received multiple devices with the same issue. I know I wasn't the only one that had a light bleed issue present across multiple devices.
[Nexus 10 General] POLO_i780:
Glad I'm not the only one who spotted the rather small battery, seems Sony compromised the battery for slimness, not a great idea at all.

Most of us who have already owned one or two tablets since they went more main stream have come to expect nothing but great battery life from them.

My current iPad4 has a 11,560mAh battery, and my Galaxy Tab10.1 has a 7000mAh, I've been spoilt by them with great battery life, going to Tablet Z may be a total downgrade when it comes to this, and to top it off Sony are not the quickest OEM Updates, so if the Tablet Z launches with bad battery issues (typical problem with many Sony/SE devices at launch) it may take a few months before they are even taken care of.
[Nexus 10 General] :
Not when 1080p stresses adreno the same way the n10s resolution stresses exynos. Adreno performance takes a huge nose dive the higher the resolution and @ 1080p the adreno performs the same as the n10. So you won't see a performance increase because Qualcomm GPU have crap fillrate.

Also snapdragon s4 has lower memory bandwidth, lower float performance, and both have close to the same IPC. The XZ will just be the lower res equivalent to the n10 with the n10 still performing better in most cases. It'll be a good tablet but if it costs more than the n10 there will be no reason to get it. I would get the n10 or keep the n10 if you have it. (Don't own n10 btw, buying a Gnote 10.1)

[Nexus 10 General] Beowulf_pt:
I have been ignoring tablets until now (having a Note 2 I still think I don't miss them) but this Sony Z is the first one that is starting to tempt me. Nice chassis and without many of the N10 limitations (like microSD). The only thing missing is an S-Pen, I got addicted to those...
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
I think the cost is prohibitive, personally. With the Nexus 10, Google basically set the bar that high-end, WiFi-only Android tablets shouldn't cost more than $399 for 16 GB. $599 for 16GB WiFi-only is insane, and who knows how much that LTE version will be. The fact that it's water resistant and has an SD card slot certainly doesn't justify a $200 jump in price, especially when the N10 is arguably a sexier piece of hardware, runs stock Android, and inarguably has a nicer screen. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Sony is having so much financial trouble.
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
Very true. As far as I know the sony xperia z tablet will cost 500€ for the 32gb and 600€ for the 64gb (if sony makes the conversion of €/$, which I think they will, it's gonna be about 650$ and 785$ respectively).
[Nexus 10 General] oldblue910:
Yes, I was wrong about pricing...in the USA it will be $500 for the 16 GB version and $600 for the 32 GB version. That's still a full $100 over the cost of the Nexus 10. My point still stands. haha
[Nexus 10 General] Andrewtst:
I love XPERIA Z of it elegance design, high performance, extremely lightweight for 10.1 tablet.

But from it certain spec, I don't think it worth switching, anyway I do will check it out.
[Nexus 10 General] BarryH_GEG:
That's way too high. It should have been at most $449 for the 16GB with $399 being ideal. Samsung's said they intend to double their tablet sales in 2013 (it's already March) so I'd expect aggressive pricing on the G-Tab 3 line including the "Plus" with the N10's resolution. Sony's stuff is typically well done so they'll move some tablets because of that but they aren't going to move a lot at those prices. And we don't know yet whether its puny 6,000 mAh battery is going to be its Achilles Heal.
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
POLO_i780> My current iPad4 has a 11,560mAh battery, and my Galaxy Tab10.1 has a 7000mAh

Some tablets (iPads) use 3.7V and others use 7.4V, so comparing by Ah can be misleading. That said, while the XZ's 6Ah is smaller than N10's 9Ah, its S4 Pro SoC and 1920x1200 display should use less power. Both Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and Nook HD+ have 6Ah batt, and batt life for both is competitive.

The XZ is US$500 for 16GB, which is roughly equiv to N10 at 32GB since N10 has no uSD slot. Anyway, N10 is only available at $500 at retail. It's a wash.

At some point, extreme thinness becomes a problem, and the XZ is a case in point. The thin edges and the especially sharp corners won't be friendly to your palms, and extended use is problematic. Secondly, Engadget preview had noted XZ's susceptibility to flex, and the display can be distorted by a heavy press on the bezel. Also noted was that, in being marketed as a living room device (with IR blaster), the XZ has a good chance of being sat upon while on the couch. Another tablet may have a decent chance of survival. XZ would have zero chance.

But thinness is always good for elevator pitches and fashion points, and the Z beats the oddball style of the earlier S (with the love handle). That's not saying much. Other than the IR/TV control bits, it's another "looker" tablet with an iPad price, which we've already seen plenty of last year. I don't think this Z line will jump start Sony's comeback.

Notable from MWC was the prevalence of "value" tabs from Asus/Acer/Lenovo, and Samsung as well. No doubt they're trying to ride the go-low trend as pointed to by N7/KF. My guess is that for a staggered launch, vendors are pushing value tabs running 4.1 for spring, and high-end tabs running 5.0 after I/O (May) for fall.

I'm not sure if you guys will be able to see those accesories, but in this webpage (it's in spanish) there are some of the ones that will be launched with the tablet: http://www.xataka.com/accesorios/sony-xperia-tablet-z-recibe-su-racion-de-accesorios

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyhat:
Hey all,

I seem to have a weird problem with the accelerometer in my i9300. I've recently started using the CM10 nightlies, and I don't recall it happening before then - though the two things might not be related.

I've started to notice that the screen doesn't rotate when I tilt the phone in apps which support this feature (Chrome, Camera, etc.) - it just stays in portrait. Auto-rotate is switched on under settings / display, with all the modes enabled.

Having tried a couple of apps that test the accelerometers, it seems like one of them might not be working correctly. For example, using "Accelerometer Monitor", the X, Z and |V| (whatever that is!) stats seem fine, but Y seems to be stuck on 19.536 no matter how I twist or tilt the phone.

Has anyone else had similar problems? Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance!
